Notes | |||
"Ruby red closer to pomegranate, after some years acquires a tint of amber. The aromas are complex intensive and elegant bouquet with scent of undergrowth and predominance of violet and musk. The taste is strong, hot, dry but not much, pleasantly tanninic, lively, harmonious and lingering." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Blackberry and blueberry aromas with hints of cedar and sandalwood. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, very fine tannins and a bright, fresh finish. A little tight and reserved, but pretty and precise. Try after 2024." —James Suckling "Wild berry, crushed herb, new leather and truffle aromas emerge from the glass. The juicy, savory palate offers red cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and a hint of grilled porcini framed in taut, polished tannins. Tangy acidity keeps it bright. It's already almost accessible but will age well for several years or more. Drink 2023–2028." —Wine Enthusiast |
